But the President Of Wrongness can’t afford to rest on his laurels. Because there’s a hungry young turk in town (where “in town” means “the Mail on Sunday, the Telegraph and on telly”), and he’s been quietly building a track record over the same period to show he’s got the chops for the challenge.

I agree Dan Hodges is a world class humourist and the only reason I didn’t vote for him is that I’ve never heard of him. I didn’t choose Duncan Hothersall because he seems to be going flat out for laughs in an attempt to reel in a sympathy vote. I chose John McTernan because he has an inter-continentally unrivalled record.

But the point is made. The right-wing of all parties is desperate to control Scotland again, and will do and say anything to achieve it, even to looking like a complete idiot predicting crap in the face of irrefutable evidence to the contrary.

It’s all just the chattering polictical classdes talking to and among themselves. They have no fucking clue just how much Scotland has REALLY changed. Long may they fail to realise that simple fact and remain the bunch of sad losers they are.

Scotland has awoken from its Labour-induced coma. And won’t be going to sleep again any time soon.

Or Davidson/Dugdale/Rennie/Harvie always insulting people asking ridiculous questions and always getting it wrong. Davidson give it up. Your double standards are showing. Westminster Tories unfair taxes 40% taxes on the Oil and Gas sector. Losing thousands of jobs and £Billions in Scotland. Davidson the joker card. The Chinese are is getting £Billions of UK taxpayers to build Hinkley Point and HS2. Wasting £Billions of funds. Double standards. The arguments are ridiculous

Dugsdale is certainly not working for free. The most expensive jollies on taxpayers money. The 3rd rate, unelected unionists rejects. The most useless expense in Parliament. Attacking Education/NHS indefinitely.

I can’t wait until indy ref 2 … just so as we can all experience the “TRUTH” from messers McTernan, Hothersall and Hodges. 😀

The never ending s***e emanating from the “hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” gang of three will be a never ending source of welcome light comedic relief from the non stop s***e being put about by Scruffy Fluffy and co. 😀

Pundits given a loud-hailer by the BBC to try and shape opinion (rather than reflect it).

And the people just aren’t listening to them because IndyRef#1 opened their eyes to the endless, craven lies they spout. It is truly risible. Best laugh is they STILL come out with this guff expecting people to suddenly forget all they have said and done and trust them. They still think of themselves as being ‘influential’ failing to see how the landscape of Scotland has changed beyond any recognition. Their purile, wayward mutterings amount to nothing more than a wet fart looking for someone who’s not already holding their nose.

They don’t see the people of Scotland are finsihed with them, taht we have moved on and are seeking a better future without them; a better future they themselves promised us for decades–and never delivered. But, of course, even if the could have delivered such, they never actually would deliver for taking people out of pverty, educating them, moving them away from working class Labour voters would simply never do. Keep them down, keep them poor–it’s the Labour way.

No more. Scotland will take charge of its own reins, there is nothing surer. It is only a matter of time, by no later than 2020. And Mystic McTernan–you can definitely bank on THAT!

In Greek mythology. the God Apollo gave Cassandra the daughter of the King of Troy the power of prophecy with the twist that she would never be believed by anyone. I think John McTernan has been visited by Appolo somewhere down the line and the gift given to Cassandra has been reversed.especially for him.

For those, like me, who have not watched the weekly Yoon put down show a.k.a. First Minister’s Questions don’t be too alarmed. From all the tweets I’ve seen it is basically just ONE question rehashed a multitude of ways … apparently.

What’s that?

What is the question?

Well without giving too much away it’s all about someone wrecking your house then complaining because your house is a mess … apparently. 😀 (borrowed this from a tweet I read not my own thought provoking statement … sorry 😀 )

Don’t like to be judgemental,but do enjoy sticking pins in wee puppets (laughs maniacally),statistically Americans are more afraid of clowns than terrorists….is that why there was a such low turnout ?.

I posted this on the previous thread but it seems more relevant here :-

Read an item on BBC Ceefax this morning that gave me reason to have a wee chuckle to myself but then realised it illustrates just how the BBC propaganda sometimes works.

The item states, under the headline :-

“Guides and scouts ‘gain boost for life’.”

People who were in the scouts or guides in childhood have better mental health in later life, a study suggests,

Analysis of a study of 10,000 people found ex-members were 15% less likely than other adults to suffer anxiety or mood disorders at the age of 50.

.
.

Now there is nothing whatsoever wrong with the study nor with the scientific data. The error comes in the supposed scientific conclusion drawn from analysis by the BBC headline writer.

Their conclusion is not in the item itself but is in the headline that states, “Guides and scouts ‘gain boost for life’.” They do nothing of the sort.

The headline claims that by joining the scouts or guides it will give the recruit better mental health. However, the text in the article says nothing of the sort, for the proper conclusion, by anyone with a real scientific background would arrive at a quite different, and more correct, conclusion.

The correct conclusion is that the type of person, who joins the scouts or guides is the type of person more likely to have better mental health in later life.
Ergo, they do not gain it by joining the organisation because they are already predisposed to have better mental health at age 50.

Furthermore, it shows that the kind of person who does not join such quasi-military organisations is more likely to not be predisposed to have better mental health at age 50.

However, neither correct conclusion has concluded the organisations have anything whatsoever to do with the matter of better mental health.

This illustrates the sheer lack of investigative skills of the BBC, self styled, journalists and more so of their headline writers.

“The right to development is an inalienable human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized.” (Article 1.1, Declaration on the Right to Development)

“The human right to development also implies the full realization of the right of peoples to self-determination, which includes, subject to the relevant provisions of both International Covenants on Human Rights, the exercise of their inalienable right to full sovereignty over all their natural wealth and resources.” (Article 1.2)

Watching the great unrest in America is like watching our own country. Many cannot believe that they elected a President who finds it OK to mock the disabled in public and who talks of cutting ties in trade and defence with the rest of the world.

They talk of fascism, xenophobia and everything else we have rejected coming from England.

Times of great upheaval are ahead and mostly dependent on this man who is taking over the White House.

Obviously true that political prophets are so ten a penny and are now so easily defined as being lying biased f**ks and well….frankly are just mere wishful thinkers bearing false witness to deflect from both the reality and truth of any situation they themselves are opposed to.

A tried and tested formula now proving futile and risking ridicule when results they predict are constantly proven to be oh so deliciously WRONG…again and again and again.

Glad that they are all drowning in the exact ( tee-hee ) science of astrological predictions rather than predictions based on actual measured ,truthful, realistic and intelligent reasoning.

You may as well say “The right to development is an inalienable human right” to a golden retriever Cameron.

Everything SLab dudes like Dunc do and say is all to stop Scottish democracy. Its that simple. Just the idea of a Scotland not run by our chums in the south is so unacceptable to theses guys, its infected everything they say and do.

British Labour. Even their name contains the ideology that denies my humanity.

Wanks.

It’s just power, British power. They dont want to give up British power, well anywhere really that threatens their power. Its partly why Brexit won, on empty UKOK bullshit. Dunc and Macternan are merely spokes berks for that great British power, as it props itself up with WMD’s, special relationship fantasy and usual Graun bollox like this.

Scotland FM’s in action but almost completely smothered under rancid The Graun’s vote SLab routine.

Just as well he is not employed by Ladbrokes. He would bankrupt them!The thing that amazes me is that he keeps getting things spectacularly wrong, but then keeps doing it. People in the media have him on as some kind of insightful political guru!

Can we no dae a crowdfunder to buy that poor blind tree dweller a proper set o darts..
as a wee Chrissy pressie…
Nay need for a dart board, it could use either mcturnoff’s ba face, or duncs fat arse as a target….
Wha’s hodgy boy..never heard o him…..

This scientist agrees with you. At one stage my father ran the local scout troop, my mother the guides. I? I went to Boy’s Brigade AND St. John. This was all in a thoroughly middle class area of Dunedin, NZ.

A fellow kid I knew in BB lived in a ‘difficult’ home adjacent to said area, from the dank, rarely visited valley down the back. This boy grew up to be NZ’s Most Wanted, yes really. He was a bit of a bampot back then aged 8 and BB didn’t do much to knock the hard edges off him, reputedly his Dad did that. He and another boy I knew, nice young lad, robbed the local post office. Bampot’s shotgun discharged into the counter as he leapt it.

He ended up ‘going bush’ a bit like ‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’. He topped himself in Mt. Eden nick, suspected of having murdered a woman.

It’s just occurred to me. I should have asked David Arnott if he comes from Ayrshire. I remember a Dave Arnott who worked in I.T. at Auchencruive Agricultural College in Ayr. From what I know of him, if that’s the same guy, is that he was an obnoxious right wing Anglophile Tory, obsessed with apping his betters. Was/Is a member of Ayr cricket Club and is partial to a game of crocket. I wonder if it’s him?

The Democrats were originally the party that supported slavery, it was the Republicans who opposed it. The Republicans appear to have changed their position to support a model of ‘post-modern indentured labour’. I’m sure not if the Democrats have changed their position though. 😉

Did you know that the “business-cycle” is a fallacy? Incorrect analysis of data and wrongly identified correlations. There are still folk who think it is a fact of nature though.

I see on Rev’s twitter feed that Mr Torrance has chipped in his tuppence worth on Murdo Fraser’s idiotic tweet earlier.

They both wonder why they are held in such low esteem y’know. Two Tories sneering at the very folk they want trust from. One wants your vote the other wants you to listen and take him seriously, both lost as to why neither is likely to happen.

To both I would say, its simply because you don’t care about your fellow human beings. You are empathy free zones and it shows in everything you say and everything you do.

It is more than they don’t care. They exhibit absolute contempt for those people who dwell in housing schemes. They are nothing to them but a vote. Sure they will come to your door at election time with promises of a better life but underneath their breath they are thinking you are dull uneducated and beneath them..

You are to be used to further them and their party brand of politics and you will be too stupid to question it or see the road they try to lead you down.

He’s speaking in toungues again. Who’s got tomorrow’s C4 7pm news for his next public display of national tv fcukwittery? “Well, Jon, I think its safe to say the Tony Blair and Gordon Brown have shown the world that its not really what you say, its the way that you say it…”

Anyone else remember the episode of Seinfeld where George realises he is an idiot and decides to do the exact opposite of what he thinks he should do in any situation. Maybe McTiernan should watch that one. What an utter buffoon he is.

I really thought the blind monkey was in with a chance. Would love to see him in the TV studios sitting on the sofa pontificating.

But you must admit McTernan is infallible. What a class act.

I listened to FMQs and agree that Ruth Davidson is a pompous git with her pretendy questions which are really long diatribes against the FM. Close second is Willie Rennie and in 3rd place Murdo Fraser. They take pleasure in trying to destroy the economy to prove that the economy is poor. Vandals, like their masters in Westminster.

Can you find any correct McTernan predictions/guesses/wishful thinking or whatever?

Or even less likely, has he ever said he’s got it wrong, or is that just not part of the spin doctor code?

Regrets, I have had a few, but then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption, For what is a man, what has he got and if you come round my way, Elephant and Castle, I’ll stick one on you…

Wind up this level of UKOK tory buffoonery and you’re sitting watching Desert Storm, with reprobates like Bomber Blair and Crash Gordo waffling away for their millions, in front of another tory white wash Chilcott, 15 years later. Such is rule Britannia life for toryboys like these. And as daft SLab activists like Dunc try to work out why SLab has disintegrated into a silly pressure group around them ofcourse, all the while blaming the vile seps of their Scotland region.

It is more than they don’t care. They exhibit absolute contempt for those people who dwell in housing schemes. They are nothing to them but a vote. Sure they will come to your door at election time with promises of a better life but underneath their breath they are thinking you are dull uneducated and beneath them..

You are to be used to further them and their party brand of politics and you will be too stupid to question it or see the road they try to lead you down.

They are despicable.

That’s habitus folks and possibly something else. How is colonial power enforced?

“Muscleguy & Robert Peffers

That’s the whole point. It is a truth that a very large number of people get taken in simple by being unable to read and comprehend and interpret properly what they have read.

I spent 50 years in electro/mechanical diagnostic work, ( mainly electronics). It might surprise you how many times I got to a job to find someone had gone through a very long and complex series of tests and diagnostics and failed to find the fault.

Yet upon arriving at the job it was not uncommon to find they had failed to do the basic checks like switching on the mains electricity, turning on the fuel or water supplies and checking plugs and pipework stopcocks were connected up and turned on.

The tendency is to draw false conclusions from the presented evidence or to miss out bits of the presented evidence.

So there is this prime example still on BBC Ceefax today.
The false report is under the Heading of, “Health”.

BTW: Wingers who do not pay for a TV Licence can get the BBC Ceefax pages on BBC Radio Channels on the TV set thus NOT viewing live TV broadcasts.

John McTernan might prove to be eventual winner of your poll to find the WORST at predicting politics in 2017 but there is no doubt surely that he will continue to find his way to BBC studios and be hailed frequently as an electoral guru.

I’m convinced McTernan is a saboteur. Everything he touches goes in exactly the opposite direction to what he “predicts”. His entire political history shows failure after failure for the people he works for.
